And congratulations and welcome to all our incoming Councillors. I look forward to collaborating with everyone, new and reappointed, to serve our community. Meet your new Councillors.

It’s Not Just Flames – Heat and Embers Can Also Destroy Homes

Flames, heat and embers can all cause timbers and other combustible elements to ignite and windows to break. There are ways to prevent the transfer of flame and heat from your yard to your home and seal gaps to stop embers from entering.
